I get annoyed as Andy's got enough on his plate with the British press without the ex pro's giving easy paper headlines.

My choice of Commentators are individuals who are or were recently still involved in the game at tour level. Martina or McEnroe have not been playing or coaching for some time now and you can tell they don't keep up with the sport apart from the Grand Slams with some of their interpretations of some of the lower ranked players.

I believe it's more designed to attract the casual fans and they want to spice things up by talking about players mostly in the negative term and other times by worshiping players like Federer or Nadal, because general people love them and love to hear about them. They simply play into those notions, because it brings good rating and more money. A more thorough and accurate commentary wouldn't attract the general mass or wouldn't be as appealing. Rating too would go right down along with money.

Andy loves sarcasm and is sarcastic himself (0:56), so therefore cannot be trusted then, eh?.

Andy is not necessarily sarcastic and at all opportunity he gets. And if he is then he's subtle about it. Those who resort to sarcasm is actually of very low self esteem. It's been studied.

There's a difference between dark humour and sarcasm - Andy is former. A truly intelligent person wouldn't resort to sarcasm. I am sure he/she has better response than that. They probably wouldn't bother in the first place.

Craig, speaking of 70s and 80s, don't you think Agassi was pretty bad too in the 90s? I believe this era too has seen its fair share of egos and feuds but probably not as much as the 80s. Today's top players maybe decent on court but I don't think they can stand each other but merely pretend to stand each other. As to Andy, a lot of people aren't happy with his on-court demeanor though that's mostly self-directed.

Most of the guys today probably do hide their real feelings well in this age of PR , but after reading Agassi's book the feeling I get is that some of they guys from the late 80's hated each other.

I totally agree with these comments about the British press. A Djokovic/Andy fan said on another site that they do not understand us in Serbia as we do not support Andy only do him down ant every opportunity. We should cherish him and take the pressure off. Andy has more fans in other countries than he has here. I am fed up with the old players slagging him off as they probably would not be as good in this age. A few of them have actually said so.

I am pretty convident that Andy will make the 2nd week barring any injury.

So you think Andy has no chance of winning Wimbledon... oh sorry why should he show up, oh I guess we should all just skip the next fortnight then and so should Andy. Maybe he should take up bowls for the next 2 weeks as obviously the world number 4 has no chance of of winning SW19.

So how is Andy taking up bowls going to help? It's a completely different sport.

Id love Andy to win SW19 but lets face it, its looking very unlikely at the moment. Just like Scotland ever winning the World Cup. It doesn't make you any less of a supporter just because you have a more grounded view than the fanatics.
